Kirby Delauter is no fan of freedom of the press.

The First Amendment wins again over "conservative" opposition. 

• Last year, a Georgia Baptist College President argued in court that only "people that are qualified to render those opinions i[n] the market place and exchange of ideas in academia and elsewhere" were allowed to use fair use to criticize him. (This was after he tried to get a six year old, five year old, and a four year old to sign non-disparagements.) He lost. 
• The then Senate Minority Leader argued that a blogger could not use fair use criticism to point out his mistake. He lost. 

This year, a Maryland Republican is threatening to sue his local paper if they even mention his name. The paper's response is priceless.  Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter

Blanks? Sure, we sometimes use hyphens in the case of expletives. Perhaps we could do that: "K---- D-------." Or, perhaps, "Councilman [Unauthorized]." We giggled a bit more than we should have when we came up with "the Councilman Formerly Known as Commissioner Kirby Delauter," which doesn't seem as funny written down in black and white and includes his name, which defeats the point. Maybe we should just put his initials, "KD," with an asterisk to a footnote (KD*), or refer to him as GLAT, the acronym for his campaign: "Govern Like A Taxpayer." We could even make it sound a little hip-hop with a well-placed hyphen: G-Lat. Speaking of, could we get away with "K-Del"? Or we could simply go with the Harry Potter-esque "He Who Shall Not be Named." (Cue the lightning strike and peal of thunder.)
